RAG From Scratch → Production

Build retrieval systems you can actually ship, not just notebook demos.

What it is

• A hands-on guide that takes you from "my RAG demo works" to "I can ship and defend a production RAG system."
• You build every piece by hand first, then rebuild it with the framework, so nothing is a black box.
• Organized as a complexity ladder: learn the cheap wins first, the exotic stuff last, and when to skip a rung.

Who it's for

• Developers comfortable with Python + APIs.
• Anyone stuck at "the demo fell apart on real users, real data, or real cost."
• ❌ Not for you if you want no-code drag-and-drop or a vendor-logo tour.

What's inside

• 📘13 chapters: ingestion, embeddings, retrieval, reranking, grounding, evaluation, agentic, GraphRAG, multimodal, text-to-SQL, security, production.
• 🧭4 appendices: decision cheat-sheets, tooling map, reference architectures, anti-patterns.
• 💻Runnable code for every chapter, version-pinned, built from scratch.
• 🚀Full capstone project: a tested, hardened RAG service plus an architecture decision record.
• 🔑 Runs on free tooling: one free API key, everything else local. Zero cost to run.
